need help w/a server status for a website, maybe in php?

[mindgam3r]

ok, i'm currently working on a gaming site. i want to put a little table on it that has text that says online in green if the server is online, but offline in red if the server is down. i'm fairly sure this is possible, but i don't have the complete mastery of php or whatever the crap this needs. any input would be appreciated, hell even the language i'd need to use would be great. thx in advance

Hi mindgam3r,

There are plenty of PHP scripts here (http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Server_Management/) that do what you require. Just browse through and find the simplest script that has the features you need. Take a look here (http://www.hotscripts.com/Perl/Scripts_and_Programs/Server_Management/) for CGI/Perl versions. Hope that helps.
